History

The inaugural running in 1987 was run as a Handicap race for horses age three and older.[3] Since then it has been run on an allowance weight basis.[1]

Kitten's Joy, who won the race in 2004, went on to be named that year's Champion Turf Horse after winning the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic and Secretariat Stakes and finishing second in the Breeders' Cup Turf.[4] 2010 winner Paddy O'Prado finished third in the Kentucky Derby, first in the Secretariat, and sixth in the Breeders' Cup Classic in his three-year-old season.[5] 1993 winner Kissin Kris went on to finish seventh in the that' year's Kentucky Derby, second in the Belmont Stakes, first in the Haskell Invitational Stakes, and third in the Breeders' Cup Classic in his three-year-old season.[6]

Jockey Chris Antley's February 9, 1991 win aboard Magic Interlude was one of his five wins that day.[7]

The race was run in two divisions in 1989. It was switched to dirt in 1990, 1993 and 1995.[2]
